Reichert: Not exactly a sure thing

Roll Call, the Congress-watching D.C. newspaper, says Eastside Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert is one of the the 10 most vulnerable House incumbents in 2008.

It’s tough to go from hero cop to endangered incumbent in such a short
stretch of time, but that’s the former King County sheriff’s fate in a suburban
Seattle district that is steadily becoming more Democratic. Reichert still has a
reservoir of good will to draw from as he fights off Democrat Darcy Burner for
the second straight cycle. But Burner has become a more polished and confident
campaigner — and has outpaced the incumbent on the fundraising front for the
past few quarters.
